Kari,This made me laugh out loud. Shay may type faster, but I made the list before he did! I was surprised at what your favorite Christmas gift was also (ha ha)! I love the randomness of the list though! Congratulations on #200!

Cool list! I think we might could have been separated at birth. :-) Okay not really but I was shocked at how many of the things on your list could have been on mine too. I had trouble coming up with my 100 list... fortunately I have a ways to go to get to 200.
